In fact, ive owned my little giant for over six years. The little giant is the most versatile ladder ever created. You can safely use the little giant on stairs, uneven surfaces, and for every job around the house or workplace. One little giant can replace an entire garage full of ladders but stores in only four feet seven inches of space. The first little giant ladders were sold over thirty years ago.

There are well over a million proud owners of the little giant ladder system the little giant ladder system has one of the highest Customer Satisfaction ratings of any product on the market today. Coming up, well show you how you can get your own little giant ladder system. With the little giant, one ladder will do it all. Wife likes it. Husband likes it. The neighbor likes it. Its light and yet its sturdy and strong. Its the safest, most reliable best investment you can make in a ladder. Period. Were excited to have with us today the founder of the little giant ladder system, the ladder man himself, our friend hal wing. Richard, how are you . Hal. Robin. Hal, good to see you. Im so excited to be here. Well, were glad to have you. Thank you. Now, im sure our viewers out there are trying to figure out what makes this ladder so special. Can you show them just how special this ladder is . Absolutely. Id love to. I guess the best place to start is right here with the hinge. Its the strongest point of the ladder. It will hold up to 1200 pounds and its so easy to use. Just by using the hinge, you can put it in the storage position or you can open it back up just like that. And the nice thing about it is it wont close up on you, it wont pull apart on you, and there are no spreader bars to get in your way. Its all done right here in the hinge. Now, by using that hinge combined with these lock tabs youre looking at not just one ladder, but youre looking at a four foot, a five foot, a six foot, and its a seven foot. So basically what you have is four different aframes right inside this one ladder. And the beautiful part about that is you have rungs up both sides. You dont have to move the ladder so often and each rung will hold 300 pounds. Now, if you have a sloping ground, or a ramp, or even staircases, you can adjust it just that easyright over the stairs, in the middle of the stairs, at the top of the stairs, the bottom of the stairs. And again, one of the worst things that you can do when you have an aframe position, the higher you go, the further away you are from your work. So how do we solve that . Well, with the little giant we come down we put it in what we call the 90degree position. Robin, would you mind climbing this for us . I think youve used this before. Lots of times. More times than i can count and i get up right here and i can do a lot of painting. See that . Shes right up next to her work. She doesnt have to reach, she doesnt have to stretch, and shes not in danger. Ok, going just a little bit further. Everybody has to get up and clean the rain gutters once in a while or reach that second story window. So with the little giant you just go back to your hinge allow them to snap into place, and walk the ladder out. And what we have here is the finest 17foot extension ladder youre ever going to get your hands on. You have a wide flare at the top. You have a wide flare at the bottom. You have nice, soft, rubber, nonskid feet at both ends. It wont mar the walls. It wont let you slip. And then you can bring it down one rung at a time just like this and adjust it wherever you need it. You get the length that you need for the job at hand. The other thing thats nice about thishave you seen any ropes or pulleys on this ladder that hang up and get you tripped up . With our design, you dont need those so you come done a rung at a time every place you stop. And even if you miss the holes they snap in automatically. And then you go back to your hinge, drop this down, and just when youve seen everything that a ladder can do, let me show you this. Again you have to go back to the hinge, pull out your lock tabs give it a nice tug, and youll notice it has these nonslip feet on the bottom which makes of course, a very nice aframe trestle. And then, if you connect them together with the lock tabs, you have a very nice base for scaffolding. Richard, would you mind handing me that aluminum plank . Now, you make this too dont you . We make these too. This is an option. Now, think about thisyou can make this as long as you want. You dont have to move that ladder every few feet. You can do the whole side of a house if you want to. Do you want to climb up here with me . Oh yes. Actually, this is my favorite part of the ladder. I get so much work done this way. Come on up. Are you coming up here or what . How much is this built for . I mean, how much weight . I dont know how much you weigh. Im not going to ask. But youre going to be well below the halfton, or thousand pound capacity. Well, im just about 150 pounds here. Now our ladders will hold 300 pounds a piece on each of the rungs. It doesnt even bend. Its very secure. No, it doesnt bend, doesnt move, doesnt twist. [chuckling] now really folks what youve got here is the good, bad, and the ugly and ill let you make that decision. You just hold it back a little bit and it slides right out. And then when you want to click it up into place, you just lift up the other end and it clicks into place. I couldnt believe it. You dont have to do it, it does it itself. The little giant has a really great capability. It will fit in my car. It can fit in the back seat, we can shut the door and move it any place we want. Robin, lets show the folks at home the difference between an ordinary ladder and the little giant ladder. This is an ordinary ladder rail, a cross section. Slide that over the end here. Lets see what you can do with a little bit of leverage. Ok. [shocked] look at that thats a little too easy. Look at that. Its crumbling right there in the middle. [chuckling] it doesnt take much to make it happen. And again, you dont want to be very high in the air with Something Like that. Thats amazing. Ok, lets do the same test with a little giant rail. This is a cross section. As you can see its a box frame construction. Alright, well insert that in the clamp. Just put the leverage on there. Ok, just go for it. Alright. And just twist it like. [struggling]. Oh, come on. Here, let me try. Let me get the bottom. Give him a little help. [all laughing] this is just not going. We cant. Theres no way. I would much rather have twisted this one. I daresay that that pretty well sums it up. It does. I would think so. This thing is strong and it takes a lot of abuse. Its solid. It doesnt sway. It doesnt move around at all. The sturdiness gives me the extra security knowing, hey im not going to fall off this thing. Odds are you already have a ladder. Most people do.
